My Ex, Please Love Me Again

In the wake of Mrs. Brennan’s emotional reaction, the middle-aged onlookers beside the table screamed, “David, when did you get married?”

“Ha!” Mrs. Brennan woke from her previous surprise and glared at Shania at once. She then asked David furiously, “When did you get married? Why didn’t you tell me? Tell me about the whole stuff!”

Mrs. Brennan was not a polite lady indeed. And because of a special mindset as a mother, she immediately became disgruntled with Shania. In her mind, Shania was to blame for David’s sudden marriage. Probably, it might be Shania who enticed her son into doing such an ungrateful thing.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Yesterday,” replied David with one word. Everyone could tell that David did not give a damn and was not going to explain it. Such an attitude irritated Mrs. Brennan completely.

She cursed with one finger pointing at David, “David, do you think you’ve grown up? Why didn’t you tell us before you were going to get married? Do you still respect me as your mother?”

Mrs. Brennan roared loudly. After the roar, the entire living room was quiet. It seemed everyone was waiting to have a good laugh at the quarrel between David and Mrs. Brennan.

“Mom, are you dissatisfied with me being your daughter-in-law?” Shania cried suddenly. She was red-eyed and her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed that she would burst into tears if Mrs. Brennan said one more hard words the next second.

Mrs. Brennan had never experienced such a scene. In the past, Maisie would only ignore her or act against her, when she caused trouble to Maisie. Maisie never admitted being defeated in front of her, not even begging forgiveness once.

But now, the girl next to her son was on the verge of tears. Mrs. Brennan thought she would be a bully if she continued to shout.

When Mrs. Brennan was confused by Shania’s reaction, Shania said in a choked voice, “Do you think I’m not pretty enough to be David’s wife? Or do you think I’m not tall enough or attractive enough? Or do you think I come from a poor family?”

Before Mrs. Brennan could say something, Shania seemed to be very nervous and explained, “My parents run companies abroad. Umm… they are in charge of five companies in total.”

Mrs. Brennan was transfixed with shock by Shania’s background. She had thought it was Shania who seduced her son. It turned out that it was her son who moved up to a higher class thanks to the girl.

“I…I-” Mrs. Brennan tried to ease the atmosphere by saying something, but she did not know where to begin.

As for a snobbish person who was fond of money, Shania’s family was rich enough to make her eyes shine with excitement.

Shania made use of Mrs. Brennan’s weakness. She first told them about her own excellent family to get the right to speak for herself. It was not to show off wealth or to be complacent about her family. Shania knew how to deal with different people with different strategies.

Obviously, Mrs. Brennan greatly objected to her at the beginning. Shania did not want to await Mrs. Brennan’s lifemanship so that she decided in the nick of time to show her wealthy family and speak in a piteous way. Thus, Mrs. Brennan had no idea how to deal with the situation.

Shania knew clearly that Mrs. Brennan would be more ferocious than her, if she fought against her with toughness. But Mrs. Brennan did not know how to react when she acted like a weak, timid girl.

At this time, David glanced at the middle-aged women in the living room and asked them to leave in an unfriendly tone, “Please come here some other day. We’re going to have a family talk.”

David saw through their intentions of watching a family drama at a glance. He had grown up in such an environment and knew well that gossiping about others was their everyday joy. So, it was better to simply kick them out.

Maybe it was his sour face that scared them, so Madeline, one of their neighbors took the lead to stand up and spoke smilingly to Mrs. Brennan, “In this case, we gotta go first. Have a nice day.”

Mrs. Brennan was not in a mood to see them off and just waved her hand to say goodbye. These middle-aged women were difficult to send away. As they walked out, they shouted deliberately, “What happened? Why didn’t he tell his parents about his marriage before?”

“You’re right. These young men are impolite and ungrateful.”

“I’ve heard the little Brennan was polite and obedient to his parents. How come he become a bad son like his sister?”

Mrs. Brennan became even more furious due to the inflammatory remarks.

The onlookers then left. When Mrs. Brennan was going to vent her anger, Shania covered her mouth suddenly and was about to puke, which made Mrs. Brennan still and silent.

David, standing beside Shania, became worried when he saw her unwell. He held her in his arms and asked nervously, “What’s the matter?”

With one hand covering her mouth, Shania blinked at him and asked Mrs. Brennan in a weak manner, “Where’s the restroom?”

Mrs. Brennan froze in perplexity and pointed towards the restroom. Shania rushed into it and closed the door. Outside, Mrs. Brennan and David heard Shania was vomiting yet nothing came out.

David was worried to death. He knocked at the door and asked, “Shania, what’s up?”

In disbelief, Mrs. Brennan murmured to herself, “Is, is she pregnant?”

As a mother of two, Mrs. Brennan knew well about pregnancy symptoms.

“Im-” David wanted to say “impossible”. They had been together for just a few days. How could she be pregnant?

But, the next second, he realized. It might be Shania’s strategy-she lied to her mother that she was pregnant.

After all, they all knew that his parents were looking forward to having a grandson. If Shania was pregnant now, his mother would not be so hard on her.

At this thought, David stopped his original words and said in a softer tone, “It couldn’t be?”

He replied in uncertainty-not his initial, emphatic denial.

He was all to blame. He trusted Shania so much that he had never asked her plan for today. Shania only told him that she had prepared well and no more else.

Thanks to the fact that he knew Shania well or they would give the trick away.

But when he heard the sham noises of terribly vomiting, David was somewhat anxious. If she was really pregnant, would she be distressed as now?

David had been concerned about Maisie when she was pregnant and always gave her a call. In fact, Maisie’s condition was quite good. She did not experience severe sickness during pregnancy.

In spite of that, David was very worried about his sister at that time. If Shania would be in the same condition, he could not expect how nervous he would be.

And the great pain when women gave birth to their babies…

David did not dare to imagine what was going to happen. How about not having a child? And Shania would not suffer the pain.
